Note C – Due From Factor


The Company has a collection agency agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”) that became effective on September 15, 2009. The agreement can be terminated by the Company or Rosenthal at any time upon 60 days’ prior written notice. Under the agreement, the Company can request advances from Rosenthal of up to 85% of aggregate receivables submitted to Rosenthal. The agreement provides the Company with a $30 million credit facility with a $15 million sub-limit for letters of credit, at an interest rate based, at the Company’s election, upon either the prime rate or LIBOR. The Company also pays a fee of 0.275% of the gross invoice amount submitted to Rosenthal. Rosenthal assumes the credit risk on a substantial portion of the receivables the Company submits to it and, to the extent of any loans made to the Company, Rosenthal maintains a lien on all of the Company’s receivables to secure the Company’s obligations. On February 10, 2010, the agreement was amended to include foreign accounts receivable.


As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company assumed the credit risk on approximately $357 and $339 of factored receivables, respectively.


Note CDue From Factors (continued)


The factor services the collection of the Company’s accounts receivable. Funds collected by the factor are applied against advances owed to the factor (if any), and the balance is due and payable to the Company, net of any fees. The allowance against “due from factor” is a projected provision based on certain formulas and prior approvals for markdowns, allowances, discounts, advertising and other deductions that customers may deduct against their payments.
